If you have read my previous post, then you know that my 17 1/2 yo DSD moved out of the house last week after a fight w/ her dad and moved to her gm's house.

I am sorry that it has come to this. I actually feel sad for your DSD. She lost her mother and now her father has given up. Although from what you have posted, it is probably for the best. I hope that in the years to come that your DH and your DSD can one day have a father-daughter relationship. He should not be surprised if she doesn`t want to see him for a long time to come. Since she is 17, she has the right to decide if she wants to or not, as I am sure you know already.
Is he giving all financial obligations towards her. How about college..It would be so sad that he would also sign off on helping his daughter pay for some post-secondary education.
I think you are wise to stay out of it but perhaps, in time, you can be a link between the two. A phone call once in awhile to ask her how she is doing would be good.
I'm sorry to see that it's come to this, but maybe it's the best for all involved.
I'm sorry to hear about your difficult time. I hope all goes well with this whole change to gm's house. I don't think there is anything I can say that hasn't been said, but just let us know how things went.
Just sending {{hugs}} your way -- these last few years have been so tough for you!
I think that what DH plans to do is give the social security check he gets for her to her grandmother.
It's sad to say, but in the last week, our house has been unbelievably quiet.
